Hi TheEd, yes it mostly makes sense. I'm doing my 2km session at about 38min 10km pace = 86min half marathon goal?
The first event I did, a few years ago now, was a half marathon in 1:42 so that's the only marker I have over that distance, and none over 15km. Now I've been on this program a while I'm pretty sure I could go under 1:30 but just won't really know until I try. I figure that is a conservative goal to aim for but just wanted to get used to running at that pace.
Perhaps best not to do a solid 15km hitout and just see how things pan out in the 21km event. It's definitely on the funner side of fun runs, so can afford to experiment.
Understood about keeping things simple until I develop further. Thanks.
